End blood quantum now

Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.

It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.

My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.

And to what end are they doing this?

Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.

And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.

Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.

And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.

And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.

Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.

So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.

We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.

HEY PLEASE READ !!

if you guys AT ALL enjoy using the internet whether it's for news, entertainment, or communication purposes there is a bill floating around right now that has a good possibility of being passed that will influence the way we ALL use the internet. this bill is called KOSA and it presents itself as "kids online safety act" but in reality it is and will try to sensor SO much important information out there about LGBTQ+, POC communities, feminism and women's rights, and so much more. the bill targets mainly people under 17 but this bill will affect adults too. your favorite social media and websites will become highly cleansed from anything the government deems as "dangerous" to children online. one of the ways they are trying to ensure kids aren't accessing content that is "dangerous" enforces EVERYONE to upload private information or a photo of your ID to access social media apps and websites. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PROTECTING FREE SPEACH ON THE INTERNET AND THE WAY WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE PLEASE HELP ENSURE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO SHOE THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE KOSA BILL.

PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE !!!!

HERE IS A FREE PETITION YOU CAN SIGN TO HELP:

Leftists: it's wrong, bad and transphobic to call a trans person the wrong pronouns or gendered terms if they are a bad person. Them being a bad person has nothing to do with them being trans. By using the wrong pronouns you are saying that in your eyes, the validity of their transness is based on their character and tying their transness to their political or moral opinion.

Also leftists: Unless you are a "good jew" who meets their quota of pro Palestine posts, being antisemitic is fine and good. All (((zionists))) deserve to recieve antisemitism. Any jew who calls out antisemitism is lying about said thing being antisemitic and is an Israeli spy who eats babies. Someone's Jewishness is inherently tied to their view on Israel.

The Anarcats

Who needs the Aristocats anyway?

A series of four images that are just simple goofy pencil doodles in a cartoony style. There are titles handwritten on them.

EAT THE RICH AND BUTTHOLES: A cute cat is cleaning her booty

SEIZE THE MEANS OF PAWDUCTION: a kitty sits sleepily with his tumtum hanging out. He will seize things later probably

SOLIDARITY: Three cats interfere with a desktop computer

RELAXING IS A REVOLUTION: A cat stretches happily

GENERATE NO PROFITS: Three cats enjoy a sunbeam

~

If this comic gave you a laugh, please follow me. 1 heart = 1 vote in support of cats striking until they get the good wet food again

"Best he's Ever Been" According to MSNBC. Biden Trails Off Mid-sentence and Can't Remember Lie.

youtube

Biden claims that Trump is "going to cut social security and Medicare". The claim is blatantly false. Trump said he would fix bad management of entitlement programs.

Maybe Biden is referring to the 4 different occasions he supported the end of Social Security and veteran benefits when he was a Delaware senator. Dementia will do that to you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The fact that so many leftists and progressives are not only not trying to be vegan but are actively arguing against it, while simultaneously believing this to be a progressive position, will always baffle me.

The question being asked is: “should this oppressed group have rights?” and your answer is “no.” You are arguing in favour of the overwhelmingly dominant ideology and of maintaining the status quo, which is the same side as massive, environmentally destructive, exploitative corporations and just about every conservative you know.

If you are arguing against animals having rights, you are taking up the politically and socially conservative position. There is no debating that - you just are. There is no way to frame this as socially progressive or radical. There exists a movement in favour of social change and the liberation of an exploited class, and your position is in direct opposition to that.

You’re free to hold that view if you want to, but let’s not pretend it’s somehow progressive. You can’t have it both ways.

I sort of forgot about Colombia which is a beautiful country, sadly, corrupted by the drug cartels. But like all failed South American states, Colombia has fallen into disarray, so much so that many of its best people have left, and the remaining seem to have elected the worst possible type of Marxist leader, who was formerly a terrorist, as ex head of gorilla group, M-19. His campaign has allegedly been financed by the rich drug cartels.

Not surprisingly, the dark side of Marxism has partnered with Islamism, again. These authoritarian enterprises seem to make compatible bedfellows.

The government of Colombia has just announced it is breaking ties with Israel and is recalling their ambassador. Because diplomacy, Marxist style, means not engaging.

Columbia's first Marxist leftist president in the country's modern history, Gustavo Petro Urrego, was formerly the leader of the gorilla group M-19. He is currently under fire for taking illegal money from drug cartels, but has the audacity to accuse Israel of genocide.

We don't need you asshole leftist guerilla Marxists. Go away and stay away.

When 3 in 4 (74%) adults in the U.S. connected the gas, electricity, phone or internet in a new home, ICE was able to automatically learn their new address. Almost all of that has been done warrantlessly and in secret.

Dated May, 10, 2022 a report published by Georgetown Law showed how invasive ICE reaches. Obtained through 200 FOIA requests, the reports says ICE has tracked civilians using utilities, drivers licenses, facial recognition, and even used vulnerable unaccompanied minors being held in detention to find more leads (specifically, searching for more of their family members without documentation) . And they do so without warrants or even informing state legislators. Even companies and corporations have shared info with with ICE without their knowledge or consent.

"Most congressional leaders did not learn about ICE face recognition scans of DMV photos until The Washington Post ran an exposé on the practice, reporting on records obtained by the Center on Privacy & Technology. This exposé ran in 2019, over a decade after ICE penned its first known face recognition contract in 2008 for access to the Rhode Island driver database.

The fact that ICE was conducting face recognition scans on driver’s license photos came as a shock to senior lawmakers – even those with the greatest insight into DHS activities. On learning of the face scans, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the longtime chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship, denounced the practice as “a massive, unwarranted intrusion into the privacy rights of Americans by the federal government, done secretly and without authorization by law.” ICE’s surveillance initiatives have regularly flown under Congress’ radar. While a few political leaders have pressed ICE in oversight letters and used appropriations riders to end the most aggressive of ICE’s actions, to date there has not been one full congressional hearing or Government Accountability Office (GAO) report focused on ICE surveillance."

Further, even when states become aware and make moves to block ICE from having this kind of access they just use a different door.

In Washington, Governor Jay Inslee enacted a statewide policy to limit state agency cooperation with ICE only to discover that state licensing officials were routinely violating that policy. When state officials cut off ICE’s access to a state-run driver database, previously unseen records show that DHS searches of a separate network of driver data – one not operated by the state – nearly doubled. In Oregon, soon after lawmakers passed a law cutting off state data disclosures to ICE, the Oregon DMV signed agreements to sell its driver’s license records to Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the two primary data brokers that sell ICE access to driver information."

This is a HUGE breach of privacy and goes as far back as 2008 when ICE used facial recognition in Rhode Island under the Bush administration.

The article also discusses the potential danger this has to cause such a deep mistrust in government that it could cause folks to deny or reject state services to avoid being put in an ICE database or otherwise have their data used without knowledge or consent.

Likewise the report also has a section that advises how this privacy could be restored and corrected by Congress. Which means signal boost this. Congress was made aware of these breaches in 2019 and as of yet have done nothing to stop ICE or hold them accountable.

Which means it's on us to hold them accountable because once again the folks in Congress have shown they lack the ambition and initiative.

I hate that jews are now the exception to every ideal the left has.

"People aren't their government so don't hold them accountable for their governments actions"

Unless you come from the country with a majority jew population (Israel) or are a diaspora jew and are being held accountable for a government which isn't even your own.

"Even if a person who is a minority is a bad person you shouldn't be bigoted towards them based on that minority identity, eg, don't misgender trans folk who are bad people, don't be racist towards a poc whose a bad person"

Unless you are a jew. Then regardless of if you are a zionist or not antisemitism is fine and actually deserved

"You shouldn't tokenize a person of a minority who says x thing isn't bigoted when the majority of that minority says it is, eg some black people who say white people can say the n word, autistic people who support autism speaks, as all opinions matter"

Unless you're a jew as jews who say x isn't antisemitic when the majority of jews say it is now is the authority on all things antisemitic and is the only opinion that matters when in general all opinions matter.
